Had not heard of Aaron having the variation, but if you have one with a line, I would check other 56 Aaron auctions and see if they all have the same line. If not it seems to me it would qualify. Problem is these variations are not well recognized. I found out about them in a 1989 publication by a guy named Dick Gilkeson who published a very comprehenive "book" on sports card post war variations. He updated the book several times, the last I am aware of in 1997. Since I am not a graded card guy I do not know if these things are included in most "master" checklists for player or set purposes. Since these are print defects rather than true variations, many people ignore them. On the other hand, the Herrer and the Bakep are also just print defects
